Jane Lead preaches about the conflict and uncertainty surrounding the
arrival of the Spiritual Kingdom, emphasizing the need for fasting,
prayer, and abstinence to cast out the Evil Spirit and make way for the
Kingdom of Heaven. She highlights the importance of observing the fall
of the Earthly and Satanical Kingdom as a sign of the imminent arrival
of God's Kingdom. Jane encourages fervent prayer and supplication
through the Spirit to prepare for the manifestation of the Kingdom of
God.

This Night I was in much conflict, concerning the time of this Spiritual
Kingdom, as to the time, when it might appear, whether or not to any it
was near. And it was thus answered by an internal Word, saying, the
Kingdom of Heaven so cometh in, as the Evil Spirit is cast out: This
kind as it is written goeth not out, but by fasting and Prayer. So
verily this Kingdom to no one will be manifested, but by great
abstinence, from what props up, and does nourish the Earthly and
Satanical Kingdom. When you see that fall, as Lightening into its own
Abyss, and Lake from whence it came, then ye may conclude the Kingdom of
God is at the Door. For which Pray with all manner of Prayer, and
Supplication through the Spirit.
